Oh well, just in case

Okay, I'll be going, ya know!

Bye!

Rivals, Gather!

Oh, here they come!

Hey!

You look like you're ready to go.

What happened?

Until recently,you were sounding like Shikadai,

saying how it was gonna be drag

Right?

I don't know what causedthe change in heart.

I told you!

I'll show everyonethe fruits of my training.

Looks like everyone elseis here too.

Hey!

Let's all do our best!

I'm so nervous!

None of them seem likethey're too eager.

You can't really telljust by looking at them.

Oh, all three of themhave the same face!

They're from the Hidden Mist.

Their names are

Takanami, Sazanamiand Makinami Senka

Triplets?

I wonder what kind ofNinja Arts they use?

Which team looksstrong to you, Iwabe?

Well

They look like they've gotsome hidden strengths.

They could end up as our rivals.

The Genbu Shinobi Triorepresenting the Hidden Stone!

Their background and the Ninja Artsthey use are a total mystery

They look super strong!Do you even think we can win?

Calm down!

Compared to the guys we've had tofight up to now, they're nothing.

Damn it, he alwaysgets so carried away!

So that's Boruto Uzumaki.

The son of The Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki

who defeated Father in the past

What's going on, Shinki?

It's nothing.

Let's go.

The opening ceremonywill begin soon.

Quiet!

Looks like everyone is here.

We will now begin

the first Chunin Exams ofthe Five Allied Villages!

As you all know, this is the firstselection exam in history

sponsored by all five villages.

The Hidden Leaf.

The Hidden Cloud.

The Hidden Mist.

The Hidden Stone.

And the Hidden Sand.

At this time, you are all gettingthe rare opportunity

to fight against ninjafrom other villages.

This is your chance to usethe jutsu that you're proud of!

Good grief

Are they even motivated

to participate in this important event?

Everyone, I ask youto freely demonstrate

the fruits of your training!

“ Right! “ All right!

Exam One will begin promptlyat noon in Exam Venue A.

Until then, the time is yours.Use that time to rest or train!

Dismissed!

Two Chunin ExamCheer burger combos, correct?

So? What's going on?

Burgers again? On a day like this?

They say you can't wage w*r hungry!

Well, there's still timeuntil the first exam.

This can be our strategy meeting.

Yeah, but Mitsuki is late

I wonder what he's doing?

These guys were at the opening ceremony

Hey, you mind switching with us?

Huh?

There's only two of you.We've got three.

It's only natural

to seat the larger partyat the booth, right?

We have three too.

One of us isn't here yet.

That's none of our concern.

It's his fault for being slow.

There you have it.So, if you get it, move.

You can't be ninjaif you're slow like that.

What?!

No, Boruto!

Don't make troublebefore the exams.

Boruto?

Oh, I see

You're the son ofthe Seventh Hokage

I was curious to seehow good a ninja he was

Who woulda thoughthe'd be such a weakling?

Why you ”!

Huh?

That's my seat.

Who the hell are you?!

Why are youstaring at me like that?!

Boruto, how are these guys ”?

What's ”!!

My body's

What's going on

That's enough.

Who are these guys?

What's with that cape?

What's the point of fighting here?

Sorry, our third member's here now.

Could you pleasefind a seat elsewhere?

Whatever.

We'll see you at the Exams.

Um Thank you!You were a big help.

No worries.

Shinki's like that.

Let's go.

Right!

Shinki, huh?

Who is he anyway?

Oh, um Ah, it's right here.

Shinki representingthe Hidden Sand Village.

Oh

Seems he's the adopted sonof the Fifth Kazekage.

The son of one of the Five Kage.

He's just like you, Boruto.

Kazekage?

It's him, huh ”?

Boruto

Oh

Lord Mizukaze!

It's been a long time.

Thanks again for last time!

I wanted to bring Kagura along,

but I left him in charge ofthe village in my absence.

I see.

However, I have a message from him.

He's looking forward to seeingyou again, as a fellow chunin.

He wanted me to tell you that.

Kagura said that?

He's training hard every dayto be my successor.

I see

So, he's doing his best too.

Do your best too!

The guys from my villageare all pretty strong too.

The Senka Tripletsfrom the Hidden Mist

I guess b*ating all of themisn't going to be that simple

Fine by me.

Whoever I go up against,I'm not gonna lose!

Hey, there Tsuchikage!

You're awfully eagerto watch from the first exam.

Same to you guys.

Well, it is history's firstjoint exam of the five villages.

I wonder how many geninwill be worth watching this time.

It's nice that we'reat peace these days,

but as a result, the numberof chunin has decreased.

We need new blood from these exams.

By the way, is Gaara,the Kazekage not coming?

The exam has already begun.

He should be on his way now.

Oh, we're all here now.

It's about to start.

Okay, I see everyone's here?

I will now announce the outlineof the first round.

The exam for Round One is

a true or false quiz.

TRUE OR FALSE QUIZ

Huh ?

“ Huh?! “ Huh?!

What is this?

A quiz?

The question will be givenin Exam Venue B

which is km from here.

Any genin who does notarrive to the venue

within one hour of this stopwatchwill be disqualified.

Furthermore, along the way,various traps have been laid.

If you get caught upand can go no further means

“ you're disqualified as well. “ Boruto! Look!

Only participants who arrive toVenue B within the time allotted

“ will be allowed to take “ That stopwatch

“ the true or false quiz “ is moving!

“ so please pay attention “ Let's run!

to the time.

Any team who is late,even by a second, will be ”

Oh I wasn't done explaining

Your explanation itself is a trap.

If they listened until the end,they wouldn't have made it in time.

At least they canfigure out that much.

This year's participantsare an elite group.

I would hope so.

Oh boy

It's our first joint exams ever

But he has no intention ofmaking this easy for any of them.

This is an exam,and it's also a serious battle.

I won't be going easy on you, okay?

Traps have been laid!

Be careful as you proceed!

Seems the time's cometo show them what we're made of.

The ultimate technique of we,the Genbu Trio!

Ninja Art, Genbu Winter WindEmperor Formation!

Number “ Release!

Respond to my name and manifest!

Jet black ”!

EXPLODE

We couldn't seetheir ultimate technique

What was he saying at the end?

L-Let's go!

Nothing much we can say to losers

So uncool.

Those three!

When they get back home,

they're gonna start training againfrom the very beginning.

I'll see to it, personally.

These trapsaren't worth using this

Oh Not bad at all.

Then how about this?

Try not to use your jutsu.

No need to showthe enemy our skills.

“ Got it. “ Right!

Easy!

And I still have more tricks up my sleeve

Let's go, Sazanami, Makinami.

Yes, Elder Brother.

I'm ready anytime.

We took a lot of time.

We made it withfive minutes to spare.

Damn it!

Look at them withtheir unconcerned expressions!

There's more left than I thought.

Still, it's what we speculated.

Well, the real exam starts now.

Each team of three

will stand on the side they believeis the correct answer.

So, it really isa true or false quiz!

They sure preparedsome elaborate steps to this

Those who answer incorrectly,namely

those who turn black, will fail.

Turn black?

All right, here's the question.

In the th Volume of the ShinobiMilitary Strategy Handbook,

the following passwords appear:

Moon is day. Mountain is river.Flower is nectar.

True or false?

How am I supposed to know that?!

Umm What was it?!

I don't remember three passwords

Sarada, are you familiarwith that book?

I've read it.

But the library only had up to

the th Volume ofthe m*llitary Strategy Handbook.

Who knew there was a fifth scroll !

What about you, Mitsuki?

I guess we'll just have togo by instinct.

I guess this will be of no use in a quiz.

Damn it! We have to hurry upand decide or we'll fail!

Boruto, which one do you thinkmy dad would choose?

Huh? What's up with that question?

Just answer.

False, I think.

Mr. Sasuke doesn't seem to bethe straightforward type.

Right? I think so too.

I'm choosing a different path thanDad and I'll become the Hokage.

Then, we'll choose true?

Yes.

Will you go along with me, guys?

This is fun!Thinking will get us nowhere.

Let's just take a gamble, Sarada!

Time's up.

The correct answer is

It's ink! A pool of ink!

Did we fail?

Damn it here?!

Does it all end here?!

They failed over there too?! What's the right answer?

Those who turn black, will fail.

Mitsuki!

Boruto!

So that's it!

We barely made it.

I see

It didn't matterif we chose true or false.

That quiz was a shamfrom the start.

There was never reallya fifth volume at all.

"Those who turn black, will fail "

That's what he said.

You're okayif you didn't turn black.

You pass if you didn't fall intothe pool of ink.

So that's what he meant.

Man It's exactly the kindacrappy test my dad would think up.

Exactly!

Some looked atthe approaching pool of ink

and realized that they madethe wrong choice

and just chose to letthe ink stain them.

If you're that gutless,you don't deserve to become chunin.

The real purpose of the first test

was to see what you decided to do

the instant you realize you werebacked into a difficult situation.

Do you "give up" or did you"refuse to give up"?

Those who did not fall into the inkmade the right choice.

The first round of the Chunin Examshas now ended!

Round Two is in three days.

Let's do our best!

Of course!

We're going to pass the next one,no matter what!

Right, Boruto?

Huh? Y-Yeah

For sure!

Hah, you sure can talk big.

You were helplesswithout the other two.

What did you say?

Shinki? What's the matter?

No, it's nothing.

Yes, it seems he didn't havean opportunity to use it this time.

Yes, if he's going to use it,it should be on a bigger stage

Looks like Boruto's teammade it through round one.

I see.

Maybe you should saya few words to him

Yeah.

Big Brother, dinner's ready!

He's exhausted.Let's let him sleep.

Uh-huh.

Congratulations on passing the First Round!

Do your best on the Second Round! ” From Dad.

An email?

He didn't even send a Shadow Clone?Stupid old man.

DELETE

SAVE

You just watch

I'll show you in the second round,for sure.

And I'll make you acknowledge me,no matter what!

If we're going to show Lord Hokagehow strong we are,

we just have to make it throughthe Second Round!

I have to pass the Chunin Exams

and proceed on the pathto becoming the Hokage!

We're counting on you,because I don't want to lose.

You don't have to remind me.
